Transparent conducting CuCr1-xMgxO2 thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) from polycrystalline
CuCr1-xMgxO2 targets. The derived CuCr1-xMgxO2 films were highly c-axis oriented deposited at higher substrate
temperature. The micro structural, electrical as well as optical properties were studied. It was found that the films were
relatively smooth, and behaved as semiconductors. The transmittances of the films in the visible region are about 80%
with direct band gaps about 3.15eV. The results suggested that CuCr1-xMgxO2 films could be successfully prepared by
PLD, which can broaden the applications of the transparent conducting oxides films.
